Valentine Sudoku Printable Puzzle

I’m Katie from Gift of Curiosity, and I’m thrilled to be guest posting at Teach Beside Me! One of the things I love best about blogging is the creative outlet it provides me to create fun and educational printables that spark children’s learning. With February approaching, I have been creating Valentine printables to celebrate the upcoming holiday. Today I’m excited to share my free Valentine Sudoku Printable Puzzle with Karyn’s readers.

Have you ever played Sudoku? Usually played with numbers, the objective of Sudoku is to fill in a 9×9 grid such that each row, column, and 3×3 sub-grid includes one and only one of each digit from 1 to 9. In the Valentine Sudoku Puzzle I am sharing with you, I have adapted the game to use pictures instead of numbers.

Plus, I have shrunk the playing board to a 4×4 grid in order to make it appropriate for young children.

Here is a sneak peak at the pages included included in this printable. Note that in addition to the three puzzles that have a 4×4 grid, I included a bonus 9×9 grid puzzle for more advanced players.

Katie is the mom of two wonderful and curious kids. With a master’s degree in education and a Ph.D. in child development, she loves engaging her children in hands-on learning activities. She shares lots of educational ideas as well as printable resources at Gift of Curiosity. You can also find her on Facebook, Twitter, and Pinterest.

Hi, I’m having the same problems as Erica. I’ve gone to Teach Beside Me and click on the download link but then it takes me back to your site with the list of all the possible downloads, except for the Valentines Sudoku. Everything I’m clicking is just taking me round and round in circles.

I’m so sorry for the difficulties people have had downloading the printable. There was a technical issue on my end that I had implemented to keep people from “stealing” page views from me by linking directly to my PDFs, and that was affecting everyone’s ability to download the printable from Karyn’s site. I believe I just fixed the issue on my end so it should now work. So sorry about that!
